The new R1 is a motorbike full of high-tech and innovation. The performance offered on the race track is impressive. Because the technical gadgets translate into riding fun and lap times. Nevertheless, the bike demands an active rider to avoid becoming exhausting.

Yamaha R1 2016

Yamaha R1 2016

Yamaha's high-tech rocket is still a technological leader in 2016. Radical, polarising and fascinating, it sets powerful lap times. It is closer to the race bikes than the other 1000s. In the meantime, no one grumbles about the front. Without the "M", it is the best choice for those who don't need Öhlins anyway, or the best choice for those who are planning a racetrack conversion anyway and like to install "normal" Öhlins hardware without electric stuff.

Lively handling

high-revving and precisely controllable engine

excellent electronics package

Shift assistant only for upshifting
